In my younger days I did something similar to this, in the middle of the night I had two friends in the passenger side of my car hold onto the cart out the windows and I drove the thing 10 miles from the store and dumped it in the parking lot of my job at the time, we actually chained it to the lamp post in my boss's parking spot.

Don't take me as financially secure in any sense, I do very much live paycheck to paycheck, when I said combined assets, I meant we'd be left with what we could carry, no cars, house, property, anything. In order to pay off my medical bill, I worked a full time job and a part time, sometimes 12-14 hours total per day, I was a lot younger then (20 years old) but I know it aged me a good bit doing that, I just turned 32 and I feel 40 most days.

Granted I wasn't married, but when I realized with my last one that going home felt like full time job number 2 except it felt like a prison sentence, it was time to lace up the old eviction boot and give a solid kick to a complete ass, never looked back and never regretted it once!

Trust me I know, I have a copy of a $250,000 medical bill from a parent, thankfully almost all of that was paid by insurance, no way could a retired widower (my dad) and a single dad (myself) pay that much EVER, all our combined assets are only worth $70,000.

Do some people realize, that you can make payments on medical bills, its not all needed up front. I made payments on spending 3 days in the hospital after getting hurt a while back, my total bill was $17,992 but i paid what I could comfortably afford and got it paid off after two years.
